This is the music-related blog for Jonathan (Scooter) Clark, also known in the electronica world as DJ Bolivia, a producer and DJ from Atlantic Canada. There is a separate blog for personal and inane (insane?) musings. Please note that a lot of the posts in this blog are NOT related to IDM/Electronica, even though that is my main focus as a DJ/producer. I listen to (and produce) a lot of folk, indie, rock, and hip hop music too! Website: www.djbolivia.ca

SHG Radio Show, Episode 151

Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented originally on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada (but expanded to a distribution on other terrestrial radio stations), and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes and numerous other sites. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on minimal and tech-house, and a small amount of progressive, trance, & techno. Liner notes for this episode (SHG 151) can be seen below.

By the way, if you're looking for DJ mixes in styles other than progressive/tech-house, check out www.djbolivia.ca/mixes.html. That page has a number of mainstream/top40 dance mixes (the "Workout Mix" series), as well as some deep house, drum and bass, and other styles.

Older episodes of the show are not directly available from our main servers anymore, to conserve space for more recent episodes. However, all older episodes have been posted individually on SoundCloud, and also in archives of 25 episodes apiece (convenient for bulk downloading) from DJ Bolivia's Public Dropbox folder. That Dropbox link also has folders for individual tracks and remixes, project files and stem collections for producers who want to make their own remixes, videos, and other material. You don't even need to have a Dropbox account to download files from it.

Here’s a link so you can listen to the show or download it from SoundCloud:

This week's show was produced in Canada. This is a very special episode of the show, since I also filmed the entire production of the show (it was mixed live this afternoon on CD players). Those videos are pretty complex, and it's going to take me about four days to edit, render, and upload them to YouTube. If you can check back to this post next week, you'll be able to see the video links in this post. I think you'll enjoy them.

If you're a producer who is interested in submitting music for possible inclusion on future episodes of SHG, visit DJ Bolivia's SoundCloud dropbox. Please note that not all submitted mixes will be played on the show. If you have a track that fits the format (progressive and/or tech-house), then your chances of having the track featured will increase.

Subterranean Homesick Grooves is a weekly specialty EDM music show with a basic weekly audience base of about 1500 listeners per week through podcasting and direct downloads, another hundred or so listeners through SoundCloud, and an unknown number of listeners through terrestrial FM broadcast. If you're a radio station programming director, and would like to add Subterranean Homesick Grooves to your regular programming lineup, contact djbolivia@gmail.com for details. We currently release SHG as an advance download to a number of stations globally on a weekly basis (at no charge), and we welcome inquiries from additional outlets.

About Me

I own a small recording studio and audio/visual production company, and spend some spare time working on music production and DJ'ing. For part of each year, I work as the supervisor of a large camp of tree planters on Canada's west coast. Once all that is said and done, I don't have much time left over for anything else. On a positive note, I believe that God (or aliens ... probably aliens) put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of tasks. And right now, I am so far behind that I will never die.
